Oh my, very very beautiful. You got those from a seed mix? If I should be so lucky. Great reward for all your hard work. The design and choice of other plants creates a wonderful area. Love the stone work too. |

Thanks! I did the rocks myself, I found them in a back corner where a previous owner had made a raised bed, they were mostly covered in dirt and overgrown with blackberries. My boyfriend thought I was crazy for digging them out, hauling them around the yard, and huddling over them for days as I chose which went where, but once it was done he was surprised and impressed by how good it looked. This is the best result I've ever gotten from a seed mix, I took great pains to amend and till the soil, and then I covered it with a compost/mulch that was supposed to help with seed germinating (keeping them moist and whatnot.) But I think the biggest factor was that I watered every day until the seeds had sprouted and the plants had gotten large enough that they had strong roots. It was a huge pain in the neck, but it was worth it. BTW, the mix I planted is called 'Fairy Meadow' if anyone wants to give it a try. |

What month did you sow the seed? I tried a pack of mixed seeds the year before last and was disappointed. But perhaps I should have been more attentive like you and would have gotten better results. Re one of my other posts, I'm trying seed balls this year but not too sure how early to plant - er - toss. Isn't working with stone satisfying? In the beginning you have this pile and think it will never come together and then like magic it all fits like a puzzle. |

The packet said to plant 1-2 weeks before the average last frost date, which for me is April 15, so I planted the last week of March and first of April. I love stone in the garden, I think it's in my DNA because my Mom, Grandpa, and various other relatives all do the same thing - each in a slightly different way ;o) |

Our last frost date is supposedly April 18th. but we can still have frost up to May 6th. I think it said. Darn, I should have worked some ground up today. Altho I really want to toss those seed balls into the weed and wildflower patch. Lots of new growth coming up in there now so I bet I should sow the seeds asap. I know you are suppose to do as you did, make a nice weed-free spot but I'm going to try it anyway. Your Abraham Darby looks great. Mine is more of an apricot color. There are small leaf buds on some canes but others look like toast. Have a notion to cut it way back to the ground and see if it will send out new ones. Oh and I wanted to ask about your gravel paths, what type of gravel did you use? |
- Posted by peachymomo Ca 8 (My Page) on Sat, Apr 12, 14 at 20:00
It's decomposed granite, looks nice but doesn't work as well as 'they' say it will. Seeds germinate in it no problem, and although it's hard as concrete when dry it does soften when wet. I have a different area with 3/4" blue chip gravel and it is weed free, but it moves around more and doesn't look as nice. For your seed starting you might try just covering the existing growth with a good layer of compost and tossing the seeds into it, I've done that before and though it wasn't as good as the fully prepped soil it was better than nothing. I have also scattered seed among the weeds before and had success, but they were all native wildflowers and there were plenty of weeds keeping them company. Good luck with your garden this year! |
What a lovely garden you have created ! I love the idea if a spiral , it's so original over just a center island ! ( which would have been my go to idea! ) and what a great result you had from the seed mix . Please post more when you have more to share ! :) |

I keep thinking where I can put a spiral flower bed now. |
- Posted by peachymomo Ca 8 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 15, 14 at 9:19
A 'snail' garden would give you a spiral in a smaller space, if that appeals. I wanted to do one of those originally but I had to have a path that was wide and swooping so there was room for one grey water and two septic tank covers. I have to say that I am so proud of coming up with this idea, it was a difficult area to work with and I think I did a good job of making lemonade out of lemons. |

I like the foxglove that seem to be flourishing. Were they difficult to establish? |
- Posted by peachymomo Ca 8 (My Page) on Wed, Apr 16, 14 at 9:14
Not at all, the ones in the planter were from nursery 6-packs last year and they took off right away and bloomed like crazy. They're looking even stronger this season, and I'm noticing little seedlings popping up here and there. I chose foxglove because gophers leave it alone, but I think it was perfect for various reasons. |

I am mesmerized by those beautiful foxgloves. IMO, that is one of the "must-have" plants that define a classic cottage garden. I need to get more this year - they never come back for me but I cannot be without them. Great job on the design and execution overall - your sweat equity was definitely not wasted. |
You have created a true heaven! Thank you so much for sharing with us ! The foxgloves are amazing. I think our hard winter wiped out most of mine. I only see one! I will plant more cause they are so beautiful. Great job! Lesley |

Wow - gorgeous, just absolutely gorgeous. I've always avoided seed mixes because I was afraid they'd look too messy... You have proved me wrong. I love your roses and Henri, clematis are one of my absolutely favorites. I want to buy so many & I have so few places for them. :P |
Thanks for posting followups to show the progress of this garden. Your spiral is quite lovely! I am intrigued by how well the mathematically precise spiral contrasts with the wild abandon of the flowers. The clematis in the center is a lovely touch. You are in a different zone from me, but you may want to deadhead some of the forget-me-nots. Around here, what started as a few little plants over three years seeded into the lawn and spread over a garden area of 12'x20'. It took a lot of weeding and a good layer of mulch to get things somewhat under control. Just my experience. |

I want to walk your spiral garden and just stop every foot or so and smell and admire the plants. |
love your garden peachy. was trying to email you but no email contact info. |
That is just so pretty! I think your prep work is the key. That is where I often fail-I intend to do it, but end up with a half-way effort which is really never enough. I cannot get over your foxgloves either. You entire place is simply amazing! Thanks for all the pictures! |
Your garden is absolutely beautiful! What a lovely place to spend time in. To step outside and see those incredible foxgloves would be a dream come true! |
Okay, just came back to choose a picture or two to add to my clippings. You know what I think we need? An aerial photo! Heehee. Would suggest you climb up on the roof, but that just wouldn't be safe. I suspect I will be returning over and over to look at your lovely garden. |

Now that the mid August monsoon has passed, we are all anxious to find some fishable water and more to the point some fat chromers. The high water was just the ticket to flush out a bunch of the half-dead chums and pinks and make way for the first of the silvers. There have been scattered reports of silvers showing up so now is the time to go look for the big bruisers.
There are several places to go out and prospect. The confluence of Montana Creek and the Mendenhall River consistently yields early fish. It is a natural resting spot for silvers as they make their way upstream. Dolly Llamas in Pink/White , Tuiti Fruiti , and Black/White are murder on these early fish. Don't forget Hareball Leeches in Chartreuse , Aleutian Queen and all Pink as well. This spot usually demands a sink tip fly line or a bunch of split shot to get the fly down where the silvers lurk. Alternate between a dead drift and stripping the fly back in. Lower Cowee Creek is another good early silver spot. The same flies fished deep and retrieved quickly work well. Look for the "soft water" where silvers can rest out of the main current.
A few silvers have also shown up in the ladder and in front of DIPAC Hatchery. Fishing in the neighborhood of the hatchery around the low tide is most productive. These fish usually come around North Douglas on their way up the channel. Stretches of beach from Bayview Subdivision all the way to DIPAC produce as they move through. Once again, bracketing the low tide is best since it tends to concentrate the fish. A floating line, nine-foot 12 pound leader, and a Chartreuse Clouser Minnow or a Tuiti Fruiti Clouser Minnow is the setup to have.
Finally, coho can often be found off the rocks at Point Louisa and Lena Point. A sink tip line is a big help and Marabou Madness and Half-N-Halfs in Chartreuse/White will entice a vicious strike.
Good luck and I will see you on the water. Brad
If you were waiting for a lot of fish to show up, they are here. Pinks, chums, and Dollies are all in the creeks and off the beaches right now. Don't mess around. Get out there and fish it!
Here are some high lights of the road side fishery.
Sheep Creek, below the Thane Road Bridge, has turned into a very nice Dolly and chum fishery. Large returns of chums have attracted lots of Dollies. Any tide but the high seems to fish well. Fish the creek itself or right down where the fresh water hits the salt. Unreal Egg Clusters , Unreal Eggs in Peachy King , and Gorman Beadhead Eggs are all producers. Beads, particularly 8mm and 10mm in Mottled Clear Orange, Mottled Dark Roe, and Apricot are deadly for the Dollies. Our Southeast/Kodiak Bead Selection is a surefire way to have everything you need to catch Dollies. If you are curious about fishing beads check out our article Beads; The Bare Naked Truth, in the Newsletters area. It gives a great overview of bead fishing, how to choose beads, and how to fish them.
If you want to catch chums at Sheep Creek move away from the mouth and slowly strip a Pink Humpy Hooker or Fuschia Hareball Leech . If chum are holding in the current at the fresh/salt confluence you can swing flies at them. You can also fish for chums along the beach in the cove by the Thane Ore House.(Editor's Note: Stop by the Ore House for lunch and a beer after fishing. The food is good and the atmosphere is old-school Alaskan.)
Montana Creek is also fishing well. The Chums are all the way up the creek, the Dollies are laying in behind them, and the water level has been slightly above medium which is perfect. Same flies and beads as Sheep Creek.
Fish Creek is fair (which is normal). A few Dollies below the bridge. Some late king salmon can be found, too. Either at the mouth of the pond or upriver in some of the deep rocky holes.
The Shrine of St. Therese is usually a very productive pink salmon spot. So far it has been slow. A few pinks can be found off the rocks but most of the fish rolling out front are chums. A Pink Humpy Hooker on a floating line is the ticket. Hopefully the pinks will fill in there soon.
Echo Cove is super hot for pinks. They are all the way into the boat launch area. Larger numbers of fish can be found if you are willing to walk the beach out. Stay on the same side as the boat ramp and keep walking until you see fish rolling. Fishing around the low tide is usually most productive. Echo is a great spot to fish if the rivers are high and muddy. Once again, the Pink Humpy Hooker or the Searunner Special is the fly of choice.
Finally, Cowee Creek. There are pinks all the way up to and past the bridge. The numbers aren't huge but with a bit of work you can find fish to catch. A Pink Starlite Leech or Purple Egg Sucking Leech are great flies in Cowee. The chums are in, too. When you find them you can almost guarantee some nice Dollies will be in behind them. Use egg patterns or beads like those I mentioned for Sheep Creek.
See you on the water. Brad
It is early July and the pinks are already showing themselves off the beaches. Pinks are well known to be receptive to taking a fly and a Pink Humpy Hooker or a Searunner Special are top producers. Echo Cove (from the boat launch all the way out to the sand spit) and the Shrine of St. Terese get some of the earliest pinks and they are very fun on a fly rod when they are still ocean- bright. Work around the low end of the tide as the pinks tend to get spread out on the high. Last season there was very good pink fishing in front of Sheep Creek by late July. Hopefully it will happen again. Use a floating line, nine foot 10 pound salmon leader, and keep a steady strip retrieve going. Pinks often turn away if the fly stops or is traveling too slowly.
Cowee Creek has a large pink run and there are already fish in the creek. Try fishing downsteam with a Pink Starlite Leech or a Purple Leadeye Egg Sucking Leech on a slow swing with a steady retrieve at the end of the drift. Work the slowest deepest water you can find where migrating fish like to hang out. This is a great time to learn the good holding water on Cowee Creek so you are ready when the silvers come in in September.
The Dolly Varden are in the midst of their annual relocation from saltwater to freshwater. The Dollies usually show up in the creeks before the chums and now is the time to look for them. Cowee Creek and Montana Creek are two of the best bets.These streams host big chum runs and significant numbers of Dolly Varden. Try Pink Clouser Minnows, Battle Creek Specials , or Pink Humpy Hookers for the Dollies before the salmon are in. The Dollies will switch over to eating eggs as the chum settle in and begin to spawn. This usually starts around the third week of July.
The summer of 2009 is off to a great start. The best weather we have seen in years and the fishing is good, too.
King salmon have started their annual return to Gastineau Channel and Fish Creek. DIPAC is predicting a strong run again this season. This is a great year to get into king fishing or to give it another go if it has been awhile. These kings are hatchery fish and return either to DIPAC Hatchery or Fish Creek. A ten weight rod is ideal but an eight will suffice if you just want to give it a try. A medium sink tip line is great for getting the fly down into the strike zone. Fish the dropping tide just after the high at Fish Creek. Kings move into the estuary on the high tide and slowly cruise around until they drop back out at the low. The incoming tide is generally less productive. A Fuschia Hareball Leech , Pink Fergus' Rockstar or a Chartreuse Stinger Prawn are three great patterns to entice a vicious strike. Be prepared for hoards of no-see-ums (tiny little biting flies.) We carry no-see-um headnets and lightweight fingerless bug gloves that will save your bacon out on the creek! To fish the DIPAC return, try the beaches around the hatchery or the mouth of Salmon Creek around the low tide. Kings cruise in this area before finally pushing into the hatchery.
From the lasted reports, the sockeye are in at Windfall Creek. It is open Wednesdays and Saturdays for the month of June ONLY. The creek is closed to all fishing on the other days. It is a very "social" fishery so don't go up there for the wilderness experience. However, it is a great chance to catch what is pound for pound probably the hardest fighting of all the salmon. An eight weight rod, a reel with a good drag system, and a floating line is best. A 9-foot 12 lb tapered leader, strike indicator, and split shot round out the terminal tackle. The #6 Sockeye Lantern and #6 Red Hot are two of the best flies. It is also good to have a few Copper Swans , Montana Brassies , and Shad Flies in your fly box. Practice getting a nice deep dead drift with a tight line so you can feel the strikes.
The Dolly and cutt fishing is still going strong off the beaches and in the river mouths. Due to our long and dry spring, DIPAC delayed many of their fry releases until June. With so many fry just hitting the water the Dolly beach fishing should keep going for another few weeks. Larger Clouser Minnows (#2 and #4) are working well. A quick strip retrieve on top of a boil is the best technique. If no fish are actively feeding try a slower retrieve and let the fly sink 10 to 20 seconds before bringing it back in. Also try slowly sweeping your rod to the side to make the fry look like it is escaping. Bracketing the low tide (2-3 hours before the low until 2-3 after the low) is the prime window. Amalga Harbor, Salmon Creek, Echo Cove, Juneau/Douglas Bridge Beach, and Eagle Beach by the Boy Scout Camp have all fished well lately. The lower reaches of some of the rivers have been quite good as well. By late June the fry will migrate into deeper water and the Dollies will relocate to the rivers to await the return of the pink and chum salmon. This usually happens in mid to late June. Now is the time to get the last of the sea runs!
Good luck!
Ahhhh, summer is finally here and the fishing is good! Air and water temperatures are warming, lots of fry are swimming off the beaches, and Dollies and cutts are showing up in good numbers. It is hard to tell if the steelhead season has already peaked or there is still another batch of fish coming. Many of the fish that are currently in freshwater are paired up and spawning. I can't over-emphasize how important it is to leave these fish alone. Look for single fish particularly near the mouth of the streams where the freshest fish tend to be. Often the fish farther up the creek are already in spawning mode. Use some discretion and we'll all be able to fish these magnificent runs long into the future.
Probably the best bet right now is sea-run Dolly Varden fishing. DIPAC just released their first batch of 24 million chum fry in Gastineau Channel. This is later than normal but due to the cold spring they are holding the fry longer to allow them to mature. There will be another release of 12 million fry in the first half of June. All told they will release over 35 million fry in Gastineau Channel and over 47 million fry in Amalga Harbor. Amalga Harbor has not had a release yet but DIPAC expects to start some time in early June. The Dolly fishing is already very solid in the channel. Now that the DIPAC fry have hit the water it will go into over drive.
Fishing the lower half of the tide is most productive. Three hours before the low until three hours after the low is best. The higher end of the tide tends to spread out the fish. Expect a lull in the fishing right around the low, too. A few spots to try include Sheep Creek (from the creek mouth all the way around to the Thane Ore House), the beach near the Douglas Bridge, little Kowee Creek on Douglas Island, Salmon Creek, the area where Peterson Creek flows into Amalga Harbor, and Echo Cove. Eagle Beach by the Boy Scout Camp will open on June 1 as well. This is by no means a complete list of spots. Dollies move all over in their search for a meal so try your luck at other spots. Another good technique is to look for birds (Arctic Terns in particular) feeding on fry. Birds can often lead you to the fish!
A five or six weight outfit and floating line with nine foot 3X leader is the best setup. If dollies are splashing around eating fry try to cast a fly right on them and strip it quickly. When they are in a feeding frenzy they tend to be much less selective and will recklessly grab a fly zipping away from them. If you don't see much going on, move around covering the water with casts in all directions. Also try letting the fly sink 10-20 seconds and then strip it in. Keep your strip short and quick. If short strops don't work try a longggggg continuous motion strip. Don't let the Dollies get too good a look at your fly. Some good patterns include the Gray/White Clouser Minnow or the Olive/White Clouser Minnow in sizes 2, 4 and 6, Neil Creek Darts in Olive/White , Gray/White and All White , Salmon Fry in size 6, and Stinger Clousers in Olive/Whit e and Gray/White . For a little added fun, try a topwater pattern. Stripping a surface pattern can elicit a vidious grab from feeding Dollies and cutts. One of our favorites is the Wiggleminnow Rainbow .

Hopeful Sign: The Return of Japan Airlines' Beloved Logo
Starbucks' recent logo change to a more minimalistic design is just the latest outburst of an unfortunate trend that has caused the demise of too many strong, recognizable logos, including many in the travel industry. In recent years we've seen Holiday Inn lose its charmingly clunky script logo in favor a cartoonish letter H against a field of lime green. Effect? Meh. Hertz dropped its familiar shadow and added a background of yellow, lots and lots of yellow. Expedia eliminated its funky old airplane and replaced it with shimmering bands of light that make one pause and think, "Is that supposed to be an airplane?" And Hotels.com killed off bag-totting Benny the Bellhop because...because...who the heck knows? Personally, I miss Benny.
But at least one travel company has seen the error of its ways.

Anyone have any feedback on DSC refrigerators, ovens, and dishwashers? I think I'm going to get their rangetop and they have a package deal. Thanks

typo obviously :) DCS |
I've had a DCS range for 10 years and love it. Can't comment on their other appliances. Now that they're owned by Fisher Paykel I suspect the fridge and DW are rebranded F&P products but I'm not sure. |
Seems that DCS (Dynamic Cooking Systems, IIRC) originally marketed only ranges / cooking products. F&P bought the company a few years ago, incorporated rebranded DishDrawers into the brand, and probably expanded into refrigerators. |

You utilize the PHP / PayPal IPN feature.
This is a bit different than using a PayPal button that you created with PayPal.
There is a free paypal testing site you MUST use to not only learn how to use IPN,
but to test it out. Probably the most valuable paypal feature/service they offer:
You sign up for free. Lots of PHP script examples. You use it to test your site.
When everything is working good, you switch your site over to your REAL PayPal account.

Pensees (Penguin Classics)by Blaise Pascal
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:'If we submit everything to reason our religion will be left with nothing mysterious or supernatural' Blaise Pascal, the precociously brilliant contemporary of Descartes, was a gifted mathematician and physicist, but it is his unfinished apologia for the Christian religion upon which his reputation now rests. The Penseés is a collection of philosophical fragments, notes and essays in which Pascal explores the contradictions of human nature in psychological, social, metaphysical and—above all—theological terms. Mankind emerges from Pascal's analysis as a wretched and desolate creature within an impersonal universe, but who can be transformed through faith in God's grace. This masterly translation conveys Pascal's disarmingly personal tone and captures all the fire and passion of the original. Also contained in this volume are a comparison between different editions, appendices and a bibliography. Synopsis:These are the unfinished notes which the French mathematician and physicist, Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), jotted down in preparation for a reasoned defence of Christian belief. They display a vision of humanity's weakness and the futility of worldly life. This translation is unedited.
Synopsis:A relaunch of Pascal's uncompromising defence of Christian belief, with a revised introduction.
Synopsis:This collection of short writings ponders the contrast between man in his fallen state and in a state of grace. It is a work of extraordinary power; a lucid, eloquent, and often satirical look at human illusions, self-deceptions, and follies. About the AuthorBlaise Pascal was born in Clermont in 1623, the son of a government official. During his short life he left his mark on mathematics, physics, religious controversy and literature. A convert to Jansenism, he engaged with gusto in a controversy with the Jesuits, which gave rise to his Lettres Provinciales on which, with the Pensées, his literary fame chiefly rests. A remarkable stylist, he is regarded by many as the greatest of French prose artists. He died, after a long illness, in 1662. Dr. A.J. Krailsheimer was born in 1921 and was Tutor in French at Christ Church, Oxford, from 1957 until his retirement in 1988. His publications are Studies in Self-Interest (1963), Rabelais and the Franciscans (1965), Three Conteurs of the Sixteenth Century (1966), Rabelais (1967), A. J. de Rancé, Abbot of La Trappe (1974), Pascal (1980), Conversion (1980), Letters of A. J. de Rancé (1984), Rancé and the Trappist Legacy (1985) and Correspondance de Rancé (1993). He has also translated Flaubert's Bouvard and Pécuchet and Salammbo and Pascal's The Provincial Letters for the Penguin Classics. Dr. A.J.

Well, I'll toss out the first topic of discussion:
What Heuchera/Heucherella/Tiarella have you lost this winter. I'll take inventory when I get home. I've not yet blown the leaves off my heuchera gargen, so I'll have to see. I have lost several. Most were planted last year. Some were in pots that I overwintered in the garage. I have one in a pot 'Electra' that is showing no signs of life, so I'm thinking it's a gonner.

None, mine have over-wintered well this year. We had a pretty mild winter. Mary |
I haven't lost any. Don't have the varieties you mentioned though. Have 14 different ones with a few of them being repeated many times here. Mine are all full sun. Cher |
- Posted by thisismelissa z4a-S Twin Cities MN (My Page) on Thu, May 3, 12 at 10:54
Oh, I should mention that I think I lost several of mine due to dry and windy fall. Our winter was rather mild with very little snow and not that cold. But, the lack of snow cover and drying winds might have added to the problem. I'm pretty certain Pino Gris was a goner last fall. Too bad, cuz it was GOR-JUSS |
I lost Berry Smoothie. I think it might be a location issue so I am going to try it again in another spot. The color was fabulous. I lost 2 of 3 of the same noid (looks like silver scrolls) that I tried to overwinter in pots. I blame drainage. I have several of these in my garden also and they overwintered well. Beverly |

I did not lose any over the winter, but I killed a few last spring/summer by overwatering! I managed to rescue a tiny bit of my Caramel and it is doing great - though a lot smaller than it was. I had some Heuchera seeds I received on the Winter Sowing forum a couple of years ago and the babies are really coming into their own now. It takes 2-3 years to get a nice sized plant from seed, but the interesting results make it worth the wait. They are all different and who knows what they are crossed with! I would definitely try seeds again - I just have to figure out how to collect them (they are so teeny-tiny!) Now that they are showing their colors - I am going to have to take some pictures! BettyLu |
I lost Melting Fire due to too much winter wet and nearly lost Electra, bad placement, too much root competition, but it's coming back around in its new spot next to Southern Comfort which is growing like a weed. :) Karen |
- Posted by anniegolden z7a (My Page) on Thu, May 3, 12 at 19:08
I lost Midnight Bayou after one year in my garden. It vanished without a trace and was planted in the vicinity of Caramel and Silver Scrolls which are thriving. The tiarellas also completely disappeared, but I'm pretty sure that was the bunnies munching away, and I'm just not going to replace them. Christine |
- Posted by hippieindenial 5b Ontario (My Page) on Thu, May 3, 12 at 20:38
I've lost Lime Rickey. I've read that it's hard to grow so I don't plan on replacing it. |
Key Lime Pie loved it it lasted 2 seasons will replace it soon. |
I did not lose any this year. I thought snow angel was gone but she is coming back tiny as usual for the last 4 years. I will put her in a pot this year and see what happens. I might have to give up on this one. |
- Posted by gardenofeden777 8a (My Page) on Thu, May 3, 12 at 22:45
I've lost 1 Obsidian (one is thriving I've had it for over 3 years), Lime Rickey (went really fast), 1 Georgia Peach (1 is struggling) My successes are Can Can - in shade (my favorite it's 4-5 years old!), Obsidian -full sun, Palace Purple - in shade (finicky as all heck, had it 4 years and the first 3 its leaves were never bigger than a quarter. I left it to its own devices and lo and behold finally it is thriving!) And 2 new additions Citronelle and Amethyst ? Rena' |

I've not had good luck with Heucheras in the past, however with so many new varieties I thought I'd give them another try, so last year I bought Lemon Chiffon, Palace Purple and Silver Scrolls. LC died over the winter and PP and SS look pretty ratty. I'll probably give them another try as last winter was unusual with a paucity of snow cover - more ice cover than snow cover. |
- Posted by gardenfanatic MO zone5b (My Page) on Sun, May 6, 12 at 12:53
I lost Palace Purple, Can Can, and Raspberry Ice. We had a mild and dry winter, but it was preceded by a scorching hot summer of drought. I hardly watered, so I think that was the beginning of their demise. Heuchera are kinda fussy - that's why I hate spending a lot of money on them. Deanna |
Mild dry winter. I lost none but have only been growing them since last year. I have maybe 35-40 plants, about 8-10 varieties. But I think they are more common. |
Deanna, I agree with you. They are not an easy plant. I will not pay a lot for them either. Will not pay more than 8.00 so I wait for online sales and my local nursery puts them on sale. I do think that we want to grow them in places that they are not meant to be grown. They look great with Hostas and ferns and most do not like that much shade. If you do not have the perfect drainage they are dead. Too much sun they will die. lol There are a lot of things that will kill them. What I learned.. -When you find what grows good in your climate notice I said climate and not zone. Zone 6 PA and Zone 6 NJ is different. -When I started growing them and losing them I started watching where people lived and what they were reporting survived. -They should not be planted deep. The crown should be above soil. -They grow great in pots. Lay the pots on their side in the winter. These have been in this pot for 4 winters, |
- Posted by weekendweeder 5 (My Page) on Sun, May 27, 12 at 18:03
Late to this thread, but I lost Georgia Peach to some crocuses overrunning it. And I lost two out of six Palace Purples--perhaps from root competition under a spruce (still not sure). |
- Posted by thisismelissa z4a-S Twin Cities MN (My Page) on Sun, May 27, 12 at 19:47
Wow, I'm being visited by some bunnies who have discovered a heuchera buffet. But like weeendweeder, I've lost a Palace Purple.... 2nd time I've lost it in this spot. Not sure if it's maple roots or standing water. It's in the low point of the bed. |
- Posted by alyciaadamo 3/4 (My Page) on Mon, May 28, 12 at 23:10
I think I might of only lost mocha this year but I have lost a few the last couple of years. Miracle The problem is that I have so many that look similar and I went through and separated a whole bunch the last two years that I am not sure who is who except the truly distinguishable like Sashay especially since I don't have any other green ones. I lost one of these but not sure which one Autumn Leaves or Sparkling Burgundy. I also have Plum Pudding and Dolce Licorice who I can't easily tell apart. |

In January, 1866, she married Louis Bristol, a lawyer, and removed to Carbondale, Ill., where she now resides, and where her time is divided between her domestic duties and a free indulgence in her favorite passion for literature and poetry.

this is for the new formula, soft peach and the tangerine are the nicest colors in my opinion. the new gloss doesnt taste the same or smell the same as the old formula. new formula is more berry, the old one is minty. i didnt like the minty so i am happy with the change. the lipgloss is not sticky when new, but when it is old, it gets sticky. still, very good natural ingredients. i am happy with. i wish it was cheaper to buy.
I bought this, in the shade Red Currant, in spring/summer 2013, so I *guess* I have the "new formula."
I find this to be a rather good gloss. It does have a fairly strong strawberry scent, but I actually find that pleasant. PureGloss is not a "goopy," thin, oily gloss, but it is still nicely emollient, and lasts well. It is not highly pigmented, so if you want a wear-alone gloss, this probably will not suit you. I like to wear Red Currant over red lipstick, to add a bit of moisture, shine, and [minimal] shimmer, without altering the lipstick's color.
I'm not a particular fan of the soft plastic tube or the very long, easily bendable doe-foot applicator, but I can deal with them.
PureGloss retails for $24, but I got mine on EBay for considerably less.
PureGloss is not a spectacular product, but it's a good gloss, from a cruelty-free company.
I'd buy it again, in Red Currant, or in one of the other many shades offered.
The old formula of Jane Iredale PureGloss was my favorite lip gloss. Why oh why do companies reformulate when they have a winning product?!
The new PureGloss has a sickening sweet berry scent/flavor in place of the unobtrusive minty, tingly, coolness of the old gloss. The new gloss doesn't feel like it penetrates or moisturizes the lips, but rather feels as though it sits on top of the lips. The old gloss felt so moisturizing and soothing that I really looked forward to putting it on. The wand of the new gloss is much longer, therefore putting your hand a few inches further from your lips, which makes for a less-precise, harder to control application. The old tube was made of a pliable material which made it easy to squeeze, while the new tube is more rigid. The color I purchased is Beach Plum, which is lighter and more frosty than I expected. I don't care for anything about this new version of PureGloss and wish they hadn't changed a thing!

Rural Pilots Won't Be Happy About the FAA's New Drone Rules
- Wednesday November 26, 2014
If regulation is a good thing, considerate regulation is even better.
If regulation is a good thing, considerate regulation is even better.
Lufthansa Systems is testing a plastic screen that goes in front of whatever the passenger's watching, allowing airlines to circumvent a cumbersome testing process.
Air traffic nationwide has been snarled since a fire erupted in the basement telecommunications room of an air traffic control center outside Chicago early Friday.
At two Texas airports, planes can finally take the most efficient route from cruise altitude to the runway.
Matt Gunn, an independent model aircraft or drone operator in Cleveland, says the recent court ruling barring the Federal Aviation Administration from enforcing rules prohibiting the commercial use of drones amounts to "mud being flung in their face." Gunn is among more than a dozen small-scale drone operators whom the FAA ordered to cease-and-desist their commercial work with unmanned vehicles, orders nullified Thursday.
The Federal Aviation Administration has released its first "Roadmap" that explains what will be needed to safety integrate the use of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) into the national airspace of the U.S.
Our long national nightmare is over. The Federal Aviation Administration has finally seen the error of its ways and will permit airlines to allow passengers to use electronic devices during take-off and landing. Because, no, playing Dots isn't going to bring down Boeing's latest high-tech airliner.
Boeing plans to modify the lithium-ion batteries in the 787 Dreamliner and subject them to more rigorous testing before installing them in heavy-duty steel boxes that vent outside the aircraft, measures it says eliminates the risk of battery fires and provides safeguards against future incidents like those seen aboard two Dreamliners in January.
The Federal Aviation Administration has signed off on Boeing's certification plan for the lithium-ion battery system aboard the 787 Dreamliner and approved flight testing the solution to a problem that has grounded the jets since January.
The FAA will be conducting a "comprehensive review of the design and production of the Boeing 787," according to Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood. Concern over Boeing's new 787 Dreamliner has grown this week after a lithium ion battery caught fire on board one of the new airliners in Boston on Jan. 7, one of several issues that have arisen since the airplane entered service more than a year ago.

Took a favorite JCPenney t-shirt of mine and copied it using the "rub off" method. This technique involves laying out the ready-to-wear garment flat on a padded surface lined with pattern making paper, and pinning straight down through the seams and along the hems. Sort of like "reverse engineering." I'm so happy with how it turned out and am planning on making a pink version that has knit flower embellishments!

Fedora and the Re-Spins?
The Fedora Project regularly releases updates for Fedora. These updates are not included in the original Fedora media. The Re-Spins add these updates to produce new media..
When completing an install from the original Fedora media, it is necessary to download any new updates after the installation has completed. This can mean several hundred megabytes of downloads. These updates are released frequently throughout the lifetime of a Fedora release and can provide critical bug fixes. By rolling these updates into new media, the Re-Spins reduce the amount of downloading necessary after installation.

From the 6,820-foot elevation at Mission Ridge Ski & Board Resort, the peaks of Mount Adams and Mount Rainier are visible to the southeast. The view is the first of several spectacular vistas at the resort, where 36 trails span across 2,000 acres and sunshine and dry snow occur regularly. Trails in the Cascade Mountains range from double-black-diamond plunges at the top of the mountain to easy green runs for beginners. The B.24 Terrain Park and JIBerator Rope Tow Park feature freestyle terrain for skiing and boarding, along with rails, boxes, and jumps. Experienced slope-conquerors offer lessons for fledgling mountaineers, and the resort brims with shopping, dining, and lodging options nearby for long-term visitors. Wineries and breweries are also nearby, and Mission Ridge Ski & Board Resort is 19 kilometres from Wentachee and 56 kilometres from Leavenworth.

Siemens And NKF Enter Strategic Alliance To Improve Kidney Disease Screening
Siemens Healthcare and the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) announced today a new strategic alliance focusing on education, awareness and screening for kidney disease in high-risk individuals. This important collaboration will leverage the latest testing recommendations from the NKF to improve detection among the 73 million Americans at risk for kidney disease.
Research published in the American Journal of Kidney Diseases estimates that nearly 6 out of 10 Americans 1 will develop kidney disease in their lifetime. As a result of this and previous studies, the NKF recommends that healthcare professionals screen for kidney disease by adding a simple urine albumin test to the annual physical examination of high-risk individuals. People are considered high risk if they are age 60 or older, have high blood pressure, diabetes or a family history of kidney failure. The evidence-based recommendations generated by leaders like the NKF provide key direction for diagnostic manufacturers like Siemens that aim to develop and provide the proper diagnostic tests to improve patient health.
In order to accelerate and expand the awareness of these new findings and recommendations, the NKF has entered into a strategic alliance with Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, the leader in urinalysis testing, for the development and distribution of educational materials for both professionals and patients. The primary focus of the Siemens and NKF alliance will be to increase awareness of the importance of albumin-to-creatinine ratio testing 2 in high-risk individuals, with the ultimate goal of improving diagnosis and identifying kidney disease early in its course. This highly collaborative relationship brings together two leading organizations with clinical and diagnostic expertise that will help put the new clinical recommendations into practice. The Siemens and NKF alliance will be an ongoing collaboration and will be rolled out over the coming calendar year.
"Siemens is passionate about chronic disease management and preventative care because we truly believe it will reduce the overall cost of healthcare," said Dr. David Stein, CEO, Point of Care (POC) Business Unit, Siemens Healthcare, Diagnostics Division. "We have long admired the tireless work of the NKF and this collaboration will not only strengthen our efforts to improve the level of screening for kidney disease, but also help to give clinicians critical tools they need to improve diagnoses. Together, we can elevate the discussion about the risks and prevalence of kidney disease, the importance of early detection, and the tools we have to combat the disease so that ultimately, we can help keep people out of the hospital."

This guest post was written by Samantha Palmer, a 3rd biology student who just completed her first co-op at the cosmetic company, Living Proof, Inc.
Finals were approaching and anxiety of acquiring my first co-op job was growing. It was mid-December, and I was distracted by the consuming thought of not receiving a co-op offer. Checking my emails became an obsession and every email I received unrelated to co-op was a bothersome. Even more upsetting was that no one had told me getting a co-op could be this difficult, it seemed as if they were just handed to you. Sure, I had a few interviews, all of which I thought went rather well. It's just that I applied to SO many jobs that I thought at least one would work out. I had good grades, and I aced my co-op class…why on earth had I still not received an offer? While many students had already accepted jobs, I did have a few friends in the same position as me. We were all a bit confused and frustrated, forced to register for classes the following semester.
As a Biology major I applied to many positions, mostly in research labs. Clinical opportunities were usually limited to health science majors. I would have loved a clinical experience, something I should have pushed for earlier in the co-op process. However, I did come to terms with myself that a lab experience would be beneficial for my studies, that is if I could get one.
I kept my thoughts positive while also accepting the possibility of being in classes next semester. Then one evening, I was having dinner with a few friends, one of which mentioned she was finishing up her chemical engineering co-op at a cosmetic company. It sounded cool and aligned with my interests. The idea of working with a science that is relevant to my feminine life was intriguing. She continued to tell me that she had sought out the position herself, and that they would definitely need someone to takeover for her. I was a little nervous since I was not a chemical engineering major, but why not try something new?
I ended up going in for an interview, learning about the position, and meeting the four members of the product development team. By the time I finished my last final, I had accepted the job offer and would officially begin working at Living Proof, Inc. for my first co-op. Looking back, it was as if all those other jobs didn't work out for this very purpose. My experience at Living Proof was everything I could have asked for and more. I consider myself lucky to have had such an amazing opportunity.
Although I am not studying to be a chemical engineer, I gained great laboratory insight. As a science based hair product company, my main task consisted of batching. I followed recipes to produce shampoos, conditioners, styling products, hairsprays, etc. Overtime I became familiar with raw materials and how they contributed to each product. Sometimes I even got to take home a small sample of whatever I made that day. Batching was always satisfying because after a long day of measuring, mixing, heating, and cooling, you were left with a beautiful end product. Another fun task was tress work. This consisted of testing our hair products on hair strands to see how they performed, especially in relation to competitor products. Of course I also had to perform more tedious work. The stability of new possible formulas needed to be checked constantly. The color, odor, and consistency were measured to see how stable the product is over time. Keeping the lab clean is also important and a lot of my time was spent sanitizing equipment and organizing. My favorite part of my lab experience was helping with the actual formula for a new product. I got to test different raw materials and see how each performed in the salon. This was definitely frustrating, but now I can look forward to seeing a product on store shelves that I had a part in.
In addition to the lab experience, Living Proof has an awesome office environment. Due to the small size of the company, I sat among colleagues from various departments. I made friends in finance, marketing, and HR. We had an office kitchen where people could gather, and on Fridays the entire company came together for a group lunch. I got to see how the company ran as a whole, and it allowed me to make lifelong connections. Living Proof proved to be a place that had some of the smartest scientists, an amazing culture, and an exceptional learning environment. I looked forward to co-op every morning; my next one has a lot to live up to. What was my favorite part? I could say it was preparing for Jennifer Aniston's visit, or the frequent product launch parties, or even the quiet, relaxing, lab atmosphere. However, every part of Living Proof seemed to make my experience worthwhile.
Through my first co-op process, I learned that acquiring a job or an internship is not just handed to you. You have to work hard for it. Don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone and use whatever connections you have. Once you get where you want to be, it's important to continue to make connections, even if you're not looking for your next co-op or internship for another year or so.
Samantha is a 3rd year student at Northeastern, originally from NY. She's seeking a bachelors degree in biology, with minors in psychology and business and plans to pursue a career within the medical field.

I checked out my remote garden 2 weeks ago, and saw that the parsley, parsnips, and onions overwintered well. It got me thinking, can potatoes overwintering and regrow in MN? How deep would they have to be? Thinking about guerilla gardening... |

Can potatoes overwinter and still be edible? Doubtful. Same goes with parsnips. Can potatoes overwinter, grow, and produce edible tubers? Yes. Would I expect this to occur reliably? No. Also, parsnips are not all that edible once they start to actively grow in springtime, but they will grow reliably and go to seed which can be harvested and planted to produce edible parsnips next year. Seeds will drop and make babies without human intervention as well (can be a nuisance). Salsify works pretty much the same way. Potatoes that overwinter and grow here we call "volunteers". They are from potatoes that were missed when the hills were dug up during the previous harvest. We usually leave them be and dig as new potato "freebies" during high summer. If you are into the guerrilla gardening thing, which is kind of a cool concept, think perennial vegetables for Minnesota such as Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus), Ostrich fern (fiddleheads), Egyptian Walking onions, horseradish, asparagus, ramps, lovage (Levisticum officinale - celery family), and perennial herbs. Shallots, multiplier (potato) onions, and garlic work kind of the same way but better to harvest and replant some every fall for next year's harvest. Keep in mind many common "weeds" are edible as well (and fairly tasty). Lots of good food to be had with little maintenance and effort if one keeps an open mind and has willing taste buds. :) Have fun! |
We always let our parsnips overwinter and dig early in the Spring before they start to grow. Or dig late in the Fall. Seems their taste is improved by a frost. Just an idea to try. |

I bought some yummy over-wintered parsnips at the St Paul market last week. They might have been dug and stored underground. Several of my parsnips survived even cultivation this spring and are growing again. No sign yet of seeds starting but I plan to save seeds from them. My old parsnip seed is too old now and I hope to get more. As for potatoes, in mild winters you can get volunteers but it is not reliable. My mind has been on whether you could plant potatoes in fall in a high tunnel and when they would start growing in spring and when they would be harvestable. Good if you had more than one high tunnel. I have none so I wonder if they would survive to early volunteer in a low tunnel. Save storage space and give you a crop before the bugs hit! |

The Deal: ConocoPhillips Sheds Alberta Assets For $720M
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Imperial Oil (IMO - Get Report) and the Canadian unit of Exxon Mobil (XOM - Get Report) said they were teaming up to acquire oil sands leaseholds in Alberta currently owned by Conoco Phillips (AAPL) in a deal valued at $720 million.
The deal for the Clyden oil sands project includes about 226,000 net acres of undeveloped land about 100 miles south of Fort McMurray, Alberta. The land is near acreage Imperial Oil already controls.
Terms of the deal call for ExxonMobil Canada to acquire a 72.5% stake in Clyden, with Calgary-based Imperial buying the remaining 27.5%. Imperial said that the higher initial interest allows Exxon to bring in a partner, after which it will remain an equal partner in the venture.
"The Clyden oil sands lease is a high-quality addition to Imperial's portfolio of oil sands in-situ opportunities," Imperial chairman and CEO Rich Kruger said. "This acquisition is consistent with Imperial's strategy to position ourselves for long term business growth."
ConocoPhillips is the holder of one of the largest land and resources positions in northeastern Alberta, controlling about 1.1 million net acres with bitumen deposits that are estimated to contain about 16 billion net barrels of resources. Company executive vice president Don Wallette in a statement said Thursday's sale "is a significant step towards rebalancing our world-class oil sands portfolio." The company said it expects to record an after-tax gain of about $450 million on the sale, which is expected to be completed in the current quarter, subject to the approval of Canada's Competition Bureau. The sale is part of a broader asset reshuffling by ConocoPhillips, including a $1.05 billion divestiture announced in January and a November deal to sell its interest in a Caspian Sea project to ONGC Videsh for about $5 billion. The company has now announced deals worth about $13.5 billion since the beginning of 2012, with proceeds set for general corporate purposes and to fund remaining programs that ConocoPhillips believe are ripe for growth. Shares of Imperial Oil were slightly higher in Thursday trading, gaining 0.25% to $40.41. Conoco and Exxon shares were mixed, with Conoco losing 0.18% to $66.40, while Exxon was flat at $91.34.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I am using Casablanca lilies from my garden for floral arrangements at my daughter's wedding. I have 15 plants with 3 - 12 blooms on each. This is their 2nd year. The first flower bloomed today. Help...the wedding is not for 2 more weeks. Will I still have blooms in 2 weeks or should I cut them and refrigerate them to hold them? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi, Bloom time for Oriental lilies is about two weeks, sometimes a little longer (but not much longer). So you can't count on them being still in bloom at the end of two weeks from now. They MAY be, it depends on how "ripe" the other buds look. Sometimes one bud will pop open early with a small lag before the others get started. But, if this is the start of your bloom then at two weeks they'll be starting to taper off. Blooms that are still around will be "mature" looking, with pollen dropping. Since its a wedding I'd make sure to have a "plan B" whether that be cutting these and refrigerating them or ordering some from a florist . Check with your florist about the amount of notice they would need so you can see how your Casa Blanca's are doing before ordering. If you cut and refrigerate your plants make sure to take them out of refrigeration with enough time for them to open up. Again, ask a florist. I just know that when I buy cut lilies that are mostly unopened buds it takes a few days for them to open up. Good Luck and Congratulations! |
